TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES
All work done by artlflcial li{:lit imposes some itrain on oar eyes. Most every person valaes hit eyesight, luid wcrald not know¬ ingly subject it to onneoeseary danger.
Statistics show that a large percentage of weak eyes are nn- donbtedly oaased by the "glare" of artificial lighting. Owing to the small area of the'light giving source in a metallic filament lamp compared to the mantle of a gas lamp, the light from a gas mantle ii by far the most robdned and pleasing artificial illumination. Think of your eyesight in your old age and

^'HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERYICE ACTIYITIES OF GOYERNMEUT MOST BE ABSOLOTELY DIYORCED FROM POLITICS"-WHITMAU
At One of the Most Important Conferences of the Year Governor Whitman Sounds Keynote of Success
in Health Work
(Special to The Nassau Post.) ROCHESTER, Sept. 9.—The health officers of New York State held their annual conference in Rochester from Monday td~Th"ur8day, September 6 to 9. Bvery health offlcer is required by law to attend the conference at the expense of the local municipality. The conference was held jointly with the meeting of the American Public Health Association, which Includes the leading health workers of all America. The health offlcers were required to attend certain sections of the asst)ciatlon as their course of of^ ficial instruction. One of the most Important addresses was made by Governor Charles S. Whitman on Tuesday evening, September 7. Gov¬ ernor Whitman said:
"The higher ethical standards and the broad humanltarianism which has developed among large masses of the people in these recent years impera¬ tively demand that the health and so¬ cial service activities of the govern¬ ment shall be absolutely divorced from ])olltics. Such has been the rerord. in my judgment, of the ad¬ ministration of the state department of healt il since its re-organizatlon j under the revised publlc health law, I and .sucli wlll be the futurecour.se of ; all HUcli activities in the state govern¬ ment during the remainder of my ad- miiii.stralii)n as governor.
"I greatly regret that tlie legisla-
I ture at its last session did not make
appropriations adecpiate to fully
maintain the work of certain di¬ visions of the state department of health, and especially the division of sanitary supervisors, whose work has proved most important and beneficial to the local communities, and by means of whom the knowledge and skill of tbe expert sanitarians of the department of health are placed at the disposal of thc health offlcers of event the most remote rural districts. I sincerely hope ttaat some means may be found by which the services of these physicians may be retained, and feel confident that next year, when the members of the legislature are made fully acquainted with the facts as to the value of these services fund,s will be provided for their con¬ tinuance.
"I shall use my influence to attain this end, for while rigid economy in the administration of the finances of the state is essential, .savings in ex¬ penditure attained through decreased efflclency In health work are not only unwise but resolve themselves, in the end. into irreparable waste of the most valuable resources of the com¬ monwealth. As comjiared with the first seven months of i:M;i, I am In forme^ that the infant death rate for I'.M."., niitside of New York City, has been reduced from i'27 to '.)' per thousand births, or :i'i point.s. This is a verv remarkablp ucliievenient in Iwo years and work whicli produces sucli results must nol be interrupted, ff this rate is maintained for the re-
OUR PUBLIC FORUM
Hon. Elihu Root
On Woman's Sphere
The question of Woman Suffrage is an issue before the American people. Twelve states have adopted It, four more states vote upon it this fall and H Is strongly urged that it become a platform demand of the national political parties. It is therefore the privilege and the duty of every voter to study carefully this subject. Hon. Ellhu Root, In discussing thia question before the constitutional convention of New York, recently said in part:
"I am opposed to the granting of suffrage to womeii, because I believe that it would be a loss to women, to all women and to every woman; and because I believe it would be an injury to the state, and to every man and every woman In the state. It would be useless to argue this It the right of suffrage were a natural right. If It were a natural right, then women should have it though the heavens fall. But if there be any one thing settled In the long discussion of this subject. It is that suffrage is not a natural right, but Is simply a means of government, and tbe sole question to be discussed is whether government by the suffrage of men and women will be better government than by the suffrage of men alone.
"Into my judgment, sir, there enters no element of the inferiority of woman. It is not that woman is inferior to man, but it is that woman is different from man; that in the distribution of powers, of capacities, of quali¬ ties, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance of cerlain func¬ tions in the economy of nature and society, and woman adapted to the performance of other functions.
"Woman rules today by the sweet and noble Influences of her character. Put woman into the arena of conflict and she abandons these great weapons which control the world, and she takes into her hands, feeble and nerveless for strife, weapons with which she ia unfamiliar and which she is unable to wield. Woman in strife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; as far removed from that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to whom we confess submission, as the heaven is removed from the earth.
"The whole science of government Is the science of protecting life and liberty and tbe purauit of happiness. In the divine distribution of powers, the duty and the right of protection rests with the male. It is so throughout nature. It is so with men, and I, ftir one, will never conaent to part with the divine right of protecting my wife, my daughter, the women whom I love, and the women whom I respect, exercising the birthright of man, and place that high duty in the weak and nerveless hands of those designed by God to be protected rather than to engage in the stern warfare of government. In my judgment, this whole movement OTises from a false conception of the duty and of the right of both men and women.
"The time wlll never come when the line of demarcation between the functions of the two sexes will be broken down. I believe It to be false phi¬ losophy; I believe that it is an attempt to turn backward upon the line of social development, and that if the step ever be talcen, we go centUrles back¬ ward on the march towards a higher, nobler and purer civilization, wblch must be found not In tbe confusion, but In the higher differentiation of the sexes."
THE STEWART HANDY WORKER
mainder of the year it indicates a sav¬ ing of more than 2^500 infant lives.
The promise of the commissioner of health to save 25,000 lives in the state in five years seems almost cer¬ tain of realization, if only the neces¬ sary support Is acorded to the depart¬ ment in its work. We are confident that this pledge will be more than re¬ deemed. To the attainment of this splendid goal I pledge my cordial and hearty support so long as I am gov¬ ernor. I trust that New York may not only wage a successful war against preventable diseajse within her own borders, but that her ex¬ ample may be of aome assistance to .vou who are flghting the same battles through the length and breadth of the North American continent.
"The crowning glory of this twen¬ tieth century is to be found not In the great industrial progress and com¬ mercial development—not In the mar¬ velous scientiflc discoveries—not in he incredible expansion and efflciency of Its military organizations—but in the improvement in the social condi¬ tion of the masses, and in the higher standards of living, rendered posaible to a large extent because the losses from sickness and death have been so enormously reduced by the extraord¬ inary development In preventive med¬ icine and sanitary acience. To Pas¬ teur and Lister, and Koch, and Behr- in.L' and Ehrlieh in Europe, and to Heeil and Flexner and Theobald Smitli and General Gorgas (who is with us tonight), in this country—to them and their associate workers in scientific medicine is the greater honoi' due."
